Does the front sight hang-up when drawing the firearm? I have found this to be a problem with other holsters.

All is good except I got a black holster in stead of tan/brown. I like it and works great. The front sights do not hand up.

I don't use mine except when I go to the range, but I've never had a problem with the front sight snagging. It fits my PT609 and my PT140 like a glove.

Not at all. It is actually one of the best holsters i have ever owned. I have 1 for my pt140 and pt145. They're even better when broken in.

Yes that's the front sight I have. It lines up perfect. I didn't even have to sight it in.

I did not get my sight on perfectly straight. I have yet to get it to the range to see if it is good enough. My last sight had the same issue, so I'm not inclined to blame the sight. You might want to have a gunsmith stick it on for you. You might have better luck if you have a gun vice. I was afraid to use a vice myself. Well, that's my story.

The leather is molded to the 3.3 in barrel length ending just before the open bottom. Since the retention is provided in the trigger guard area, the extra barrel length would have to squeeze through the bottom opening but would be tight. As noted in earlier responses, the front sight would more than likely hang up.

I have the LCP380 also. Have had the holster about a year I think. Remember, the entire gun & holster assembly is surrounded by the pocket. If anything, I'd worry about getting the gun out quick enough. Most often, I carry it in the front pocket. When I walk at night I have my hand in my pocket and ON the gun. This serves as a kind of "Quick-Response" position because I lift the gun slightly out of its full rest position in the holster. It's hard to explain. Anyway, overall, I am pleased with this holster.

Mine sighted right in no problem. Try remounting it and use a bore sighter, if you can't line it up without using too much adjustment it could be a problem with the sight itself.

No issues with recoil on the .40. Still looking for the right holster, not sure there are any "inexpensive" holsters that will do the job. Right now the best solution I have seen is Sneaky Pete.

I wanted to mount front sight on gas block rail too, tried it, but mine sits lower than the top rail so alignment was a problem. Checked it with laser bore and way off. I have collapsible back up sight at the end of my top rail so that space is spoken for.So I mounted mine on the top rail right behind the front back up sight, rail even with the rear sight. The rear and front are fairly close together. I'm limited on rear sight location due to scope so I'm about 6" from peep hole to pin on the top rail, but they line up pretty good with laser sight. I would use for 50 yds or less. Still need to sight in with ammo but it's 4th in priority.

Yes, the holster attaches to the right side on a sturdy belt. The holster is molded to fit snugly around the trigger guard of the pistol 'locking' it into the holster and making it difficult for anyone other than the wearer to take it out of the holster. It cants the pistol forward for easier access and faster draw. This is one of the holsters I recommend in my gun training school for defensive carry because it retains the pistol tightly but still can be drawn very quickly.

Hasn't been an issue on my Galco deep concealment or Blade-Tech holsters. On my Safariland 6378 ALS I've shaved a bit from the base of the slide lock tab during the first hundred presentations, but nothing since and no impact on holster or sight function. Just buy the sights :-)

That's a good question. I'm actually mounting it to the gun today and hope to zero it in soon, perhaps this Sunday. To me, I would assume that would be the case. My gun has only two slots where the mounts will fit.It should stay 0

I cant imagine any activity causing your weapon to bounce out of this holster. Unless your vigorous activity includes being upside down I wouldn't worry. I've never had an issue with the sights dragging on my xds 45.

I don't do a lot of quick draw, but, when I have, I have't had any problem with the holster coming loose. As a matter of fact, if I do wish to remove the holster from my belt, it is easier to undo the belt and slide it off rather than to pull it loose over the belt.

they're very durable and visible in low light conditions. I just wasn't able to accurately sight in my weapon. To me & this is just me, the front sight sticks up too high prohibiting accuracy & rubs against the inside of any holster other than one made especially for it. It just shot too high & having to compensate because of that made it unreliable. I removed it immediately upon returning home. I didn't see any way to adjust sights other than windage.I had to aim almost 6" below target & to me thats totally unacceptable & again, thats just me. Have the S&W; 40 Shield... If someone can solve that problem, please let me know how without having to shim the rear sight. Good luck they're very durable and visible in low light conditions.

It scrapes the kidex on all of my holsters, but so do the stock sights. Not sure if the scraping is any worse with the big dot. The gun always fits though

I tried this with a Smith and Wesson 360PD with a Hi-Viz sight. There was no problem with the sight, but the pistol just kind of sits in the holster. There isn't much retention and I'd be worried that it would fall out if you sat down or bent over.

As far as the weapon sticking in the holster, that is a non issue. Yes, when you place the weapon in the holster AT FIRST it is a tight fit. Merely leave the weapon in the holster for a few hours, over night even, and the leather will soften and mold to the weapon. After that occurs the weapon will still fit snug ,and thus no worries of it falling out, and still allow a quick and easy one handed draw. I have no problems drawing my weapon out with one hand. This is a good, well made holster.
